1. Construct a simple pendulum starting with 20 cm length. 2. Hang the pendulum as pictures in one of the two methods shown above. 3. Using the protractor, displace the pendulum 10 degrees from the vertical. 4. Release the pendulum and using a stopwatch measure the time for 5 complete cycles. 5. Repeat the procedure for the remaining lengths in the table. 6. Complete all calculations and discuss your results. 7. Make a graph of 72 vs. L. What does the slope represent? Discuss the graph. 8. How does changing the length affect the period of oscillation? Would changing the mass affect the period? Length (m) 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 Average experimental g: Time for 5 cycles (s) Period, T (s) Frequency, f (1/s) T (S) Experimental
